“I’m scared,” the lean, intense scientist (Paul Ehrlich) told an interviewer. “I have a teenage daughter whom I love very much. I know a lot of young people, and their world is being destroyed – my world is being destroyed. I’m 37, and I’d like to live to be 67 in a reasonably pleasant world, not die in some kind of holocaust in the next decade.”

The people that put their faith in Paul Ehrlich and bought into his utter nonsense are cultists. There is little difference between Ehrlich cultists and the cultists that followed Jim Jones (except for a PHD and tenure). When we enable idiots like this, that seek to create mass hysteria, we take a step towards de-evolution. Unfortunately the Ehrlich cultists are drawn to de-evolution like moths to a flame.

Stephen Schneider was another climate scientist recently deceased that spent his entire career warning the world about its imminent planetary doom, first with global cooling then switching to global warming, but at the end of his life the planet was doing very well. He may have died a bitter man.
